A Systematic Literature Review on the Composition, Health Impacts, and Regulatory Dynamics of Vaping.

This comprehensive review deals with the multifaceted aspects of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), examining their composition, health implications, regulatory challenges, and market dynamics. E-cigarettes, also known as vaping devices, function by warming a solution of liquid containing flavors, nicotine, and various other compounds to produce an aerosol for users to inhale. This review underscores the evolution and widespread adoption of e-cigarettes since their introduction in 2003, highlighting their appeal as alternatives to traditional tobacco smoking.

Dens Evaginatus and Dens Invaginatus in Dilacerated Maxillary Lateral Incisor Diagnosed Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography - A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Dens invaginatus (DI) and Dens evaginatus (DE), the developmental anomalies affecting the morphology of the tooth structure are extremely rare to occur. DI occurs because of invagination of a crown into dental papillae. DE is a tubercular emergence from occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth and lingual surfaces of anterior teeth.

Evaluating Static Bone Cysts (SBCs) Through Long-Term Volumetric Analysis Using CBCT: A Study with 6-Month Follow-Up.

Background: Salivary gland bone defects are static lesions which are rare entities, generally asymptomatic and found in routine imaging exams. However, in atypical cases or when misdiagnosed, surgical intervention is carried out. Purpose: a) The study is intended to investigate the frequency of SBC's and to describe the radiological characteristics of its subtypes; b) To evaluate the efficacy of volumetric analysis tool in CBCT and; c) To describe the confirmative role of CBCT in the diagnosis of SBC's without the need for surgical intervention.

Pink esthetic and radiological scores around immediate implants placed in the esthetic zone - Socket-Shield Technique versus Immediate Conventional Technique: A Pilot Study.

Objective: It is irrefutable that the extraction of teeth inextricably results in definitive changes in the surrounding hard and soft tissues. Recently, Socket-Shield Technique (SST) has been used to keep the buccal two-third of the root intact in the socket. This buccal shield further preserves the periodontium-bundle bone complex and hence preserves the buccal hard and soft tissue.

Correlation of serum biomarkers (TSA & LSA) and epithelial dysplasia in early diagnosis of oral precancer and oral cancer.

Background: Oral cancer is currently the most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, which is usually preceded by oral pre-cancerous lesions and conditions. Altered glycosylation of glycoconjugates, such as sialic acid, fucose, etc. are amongst the important molecular changes that accompany malignant transformation.
